This app is the first one who understood nature of Baha’i Calendar and could write the algorithms of it. Showing Qiblih very correct way, the shortest distance! It would be more complete if it could show Gregorian calendar as Weil and let us to write our personal activities in this calendar, till we all get used to using Badí‘ Calendar in our daily life.
